After a Week 13 marked by upsets, this week’s College Football Playoff rankings might be the most anticipated yet. There’s so much still to be decided heading into the final week of the 2024 regular season, as the expanded 12-team playoff field is giving more teams than ever a shot at a national championship this year.
The latest batch of rankings will be released by the CFP selection committee on Tuesday night, with intrigue surrounding where teams like Georgia, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Indiana, SMU and Alabama slot in after a slew of unexpected results last Saturday that made this playoff race particularly chaotic.
With so much up in the air before the new CFP top 25 is released, here are national projections and predictions about what the rankings and playoff bracket might look like, as well as information on the 12-team playoff and how to watch the rankings release show:
